8 Installation Installation of Your Wine Cooler / Beverage Center Your Electrolux Wine Cooler/Beverage Center has been designed for either freestanding or under counter installation. When under counter, your unit does not require additional air space for top, sides or rear. In either case, the front grille must NOT be obstructed. • This appliance is designed to be for free standing installation or under counter (fully recessed). (Refer to sticker located on the back of this appliance.) • This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine or beverages. • Place your Wine Cooler/Beverage Center on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your Wine Cooler/Beverage Center, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the unit. • This appliance uses flammable refrigerant. So never damage the cooling pipe work during the transportation. • Locate the Wine Cooler/Beverage Center away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. • Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. • Plug the Wine Cooler/Beverage Center into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an Authorized Products Service Center. NOTE To ease unit installation and removal, it is recommended that the cabinet rough opening dimensions be increased by at least ¼ inch over the dimensions given for your unit. NOTE All units require zero clearance when installed flush with a cabinet or wall. Electrolux stainless steel models require a minimum 2-7⁄8 inch handle clearance when installed against a wall or cabinet that extends beyond the front edge of the unit. Before Using Your Wine Cooler/ Beverage Center • Remove the exterior and interior packing. • Before connecting the Wine Cooler / Beverage Center to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. • Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. Using your Wine Cooler/Beverage Center • Store wine in sealed bottles. • Do not overload the cabinet. • Do not open the door unless necessary. • Do not cover shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf material which may prevent air circulation.
